UFC officials Wednesday announced the booking, which takes
place at the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque. The event will serve
as a UFC Fight Night show and is headlined by a lightweight clash
pitting former champion Benson
Henderson against once-beaten Dagestani Rustam
Khabilov.

Pettis will step back into the Octagon for the first time since
suffering his inaugural defeat at the hands of Alex
Caceres this past January. The younger brother of reigning UFC
lightweight king Anthony
Pettis, the 20-year-old made a successful UFC debut this past
November on the heels of nine straight wins, earning a unanimous
decision over veteran Will
Campuzano at UFC 167.

Meza, meanwhile, looks to rebound from a decision defeat to Pettis’
former Roufusport teammate, Chico Camus,
who bested Meza at UFC on Fox 10. The 33-year-old owns 29 pro bouts
to his credit but has gone just 1-2 since joining the UFC,
sandwiching a victory over John Albert
between his losses to Chad Mendes
and Camus.
